I know a worn carbon seal will hurt or affect holeshot (cavitation) but can it affect top end speed. Just wondering if its worn can it let air in pump tunnel at WOT and affect top speed.
thanks

Interesting question, my experience however won't help, when my CS went I lost holeshot(not like a little but more like someone unhooked the prop form the driveline) I didn't test top end as my main concern was feathering it onto a plane and getting my ass to camp before the ski sunk.
